Smart Keyboard for 12.9‑inch iPad Pro - US English

Overview

The Smart Keyboard combines advanced technologies to create a keyboard like no other. It’s a full-size keyboard that’s fully portable, and it connects to iPad Pro with the Smart Connector. Just attach the Smart Keyboard and start typing. And when you’re done, it folds to create a slim, lightweight cover.

Love at first use. This keyboard is amazing. Yes, it does only cover the front, but so what. Yes, there is no holder for the pencil, but, so what. Yes, there may be some functionality glitches, but again, so what. This Smart "KEYBOARD" for iPad Pro rocks. Apple only promised us a keyboard, and that's what this is. The whiners probably shake their birthday cards for money before they read them, so sad. This is by far the best peripheral keyboard I've ever used in terms of feel and accuracy. Oh, and the feel/look of the materials/design is far from cheap, as mentioned in some other reviews. They nailed it, AGAIN!! Thanks Apple. Bottom Line - Drop the coin and don't look back. This keyboard will transform your iPad Pro into a monster of mayhem.(in a good way). Cheers!!

Yes, the review about the lack of a caps lock indicator is true, as is the (lack) of ability to activate voice in iMessage, but I still find myself loving the keyboard. I make virtually no typing errors on it, and it's proximity to the display makes the combination of a keyboard and the touch screen really work. With my other iPads, I used several aftermarket keyboards and typically abandoned them in a short time. I love this one, and hope that the shortcomings will be resolved soon in software.

The keyboard might seem a bit on the higher end when it comes to the price, but then it is a pleasure to use. Based on my past experience with Logitech keyboards, I was a bit sceptical in using a keyboard at first but so far have not been disappointed. The quality is excellent, the keyboard works and integrates well with the iPadPro. Some people might want a trackpad - but given it is an iPad, you really do not need any. I recommend to get an Apple Pencil as well.

I got this keyboard the same day the iPad Pro came out for the first time.
The keyboard had been great for 2 years. I feel like it should last longer than that for $250.00.
I’ll have to find another keyboard as it rarely registers there is a keyboard attached to my iPad.

Works Just Fine

I’ve had this keyboard for almost two years and got it when I got my iPad Pro. It works perfectly fine and I’ve never had issues with it. I’m a college student and write all my papers and take all my notes on my iPad using the keyboard and it still works like when I got it, not sure why a lot of people are complaining I’ve never had any of these issues. Pushing on the keys has a nice feel only thing is that it can get dirty but wiping it with some electronic spray cleans it up. Saw bad reviews for the Apple Pencil which I wanted but saw even worse reviews for the keyboard, I enjoy my keyboard so I will probably still be buying the pencil.

I purchased this keyboard to compliment a gift of the 12.9 iPad Pro in late January 2016. The keyboard's angle causes constant issues with touching the screen while typing. All of this I could live with until the advent of iOs 10 when the device started telling me that it was no longer supported. I have read articles from various apple trade journals stating that Apple is revising its warranty on this keyboard. First articles started appearing in print in May. When the keyboard was brought to the Apple Store in New Orleans everyone stood around scratching their heads. I was turned away with an explanation that maybe Apple would send out a notice to the stores confirming that warranty. In the meantime I gave up three hours of my day. On the iPad support forum mention is made of hard boot remedies but to no avail. Mention is even made of the warranty revision, but do I want to spend snother three hours waiting to be turned away again? I think not! Do I recommend? Not only no but Heck no

Even though several reviews say it does not, it most certainly does. When you are typing at the bottom of the screen on the right side, there is a down arrow, hold it down and the on screen keyboard pops up, and lets you use the voice dictation.

It is possible to use the Smart Keyboard with these special characters. All you have to do is use the “Option” button and then press down a key. For example to get “œ” hold down “option” and press “q”. This works for a variety of characters but you might have to play around to find the right one. After that it is easy. For example I am learning German and now it is easy to incorporate umlauts. I just hold down “option” then press “U” and then the letter I want to add an umlaut to.

YES! I just switched from a first-generation 12.9" iPad Pro to a 10.5" iPad Pro. I was curious as well. In fact, I'm writing this answer on my new iPad Pro 10.5" using my old 12.9" Smart Keyboard. It absolutely connects and works.
